[[Daniel L. Schwartz]] (1978) proposed a distribution of cognition through culture and the distribution of beliefs across the members of a society.{{Citation needed|date=August 2013}}
In 1998, Mark Perry from [[Brunel University London]] explored the problems and the benefits brought by distributed cognition to "understanding the organisation of information within its contexts." He considered that distributed cognition draws from the [[Information processing (psychology)|information processing]] metaphor of cognitive science where a [[system]] is considered in terms of its inputs and outputs and tasks are decomposed into a [[problem space]].<ref name = "Perry_1998">{{cite conference | vauthors = Perry M | date = 13–15 August 1998 | url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2388174 | title = Process, representation and taskworld: distributed cognition and the organisation of information. | conference = Exploring the contexts of information behaviour.

Cognition is said to be "socially distributed" when it is applied to demonstrate how interpersonal processes can be used to coordinate activity within a social group.
In 1999, [[Gavriel Salomon]] stated that there were two classes of distributive cognition: shared cognition and off-loading{{citation needed|date=November 2014}}. Shared cognition is that which is shared among people through common activity such as conversation where there is a constant change of cognition based on the other person's responses. An example of off-loading would be using a calculator to do [[arithmetic]] or a creating a grocery list when going shopping. In that sense, the cognitive duties are off-loaded to a material object.
